CS 4758/6758: Robot Learning

Spring 2013

Instructor

Time and Place

Tue, Thu: 2:55pm to 4:10pm
Place: Hollister B14

How to enroll in 4758: There are two options:
(a) There will be a
pre-requisite prelim on the second day of class, and
4758 enrollment is entirely dependent on the score on this pre-requisite
prelim regardless of your enrollment status on the studentcenter.
Even if you were unable to register on studentcenter, you will be enrolled
in the course if you pass the pre-req prelim.
(See pre-requisites.)
(b) Send the professor your transcript and resume,
and there are few additional seats in 4758 for research students.

How to enroll in CS6758: This section is for PhD or for research students only, and you need a PIN
from the instructor to enroll in this section.

Robotics

This course is for CS and ECE juniors, seniors and PhD students
to teach them learning algorithms for robotic applications.

Machine Learning

Large parts of the course teach machine learning and
artificial intelligence methods and techniques.

Why do I need this?

In recent years, several off-the-shelf robots have
become available and some of them have made their way into our homes,
offices, and factories. The ability to program robots has therefore
become an important skill; e.g., for robotics research
as well as in several companies (such as iRobot, ReThink Robotics, Willow Garage,
medical robotics, and others).
